EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pa. German Door Handle, c. 1938" by Jack Staloff, transports us back in time to the 1930s in America. The image showcases a simple yet intricately designed door handle, a quintessential artifact of Pennsylvania German culture. The handle, made of iron, is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and delicate floral motifs, reflecting the rich heritage of this unique American tradition. The photograph is a testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of the Pennsylvania Dutch, also known as the Pennsylvania Germans. This community, with its roots in Europe, brought their distinctive art and design sensibilities to the United States in the 18th century. The door handle, a period item from the 1930s, exemplifies the enduring influence of this culture on American art and homeware. The photograph, created by Jack Staloff in the 20th century, is a graphite drawing on paperboard. The use of graphite adds a sense of depth and texture to the image, making the intricate patterns on the door handle come alive. The monochromatic color palette further enhances the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a simpler era. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is home to this remarkable piece of art. It is part of the Index of American Design, a collection that documents the visual arts of the United States from the colonial period to the 1940s. The photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of America's past.
